Well I’ve done some correcting to my little back scratcher, including two bug fixes and changes to the man page.

And the manual which writing got me interested in roff, I’ll post when I have time to learn more about it. Basically the problem I had was caused by working on it. Originally under the conditions when 2 + 2 = 5 which is not good, because 2 + 2 is really == 4 !!!! I should never do stuff when I’m like that, but if I don’t try nothing gets done.
